Xuanyuan Che held her cold hand, placed it against his cheek, and looked at her face lovingly: "Wanwan, we are having a baby."
He rambled on and on, saying a lot to the unconscious Tang Wan, from his childhood to his youth, and then to the present, "Wanwan, I thought I would never have my own children in my lifetime."
"Well, you have it now, Che."
Xuanyuan Che looked at the smiling woman in surprise, "Wanwan."
"Yeah, I'm here."
Xuanyuan Che carefully helped her up and said, "Do you want to eat something? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you now."
Tang Wan shook her head: "I don't want to eat, my stomach still hurts a little."
Hearing her say that her stomach hurt, Xuanyuan Che immediately became anxious: "Is the pain severe? Do you want to see the imperial physician again?"
Tang Wan pinched his cheek and said, "No need, it just hurts a little, nothing serious."
"That's good." Xuanyuan Che sneered, "That Zhang, I've demoted her to a concubine and confined her to house arrest for a year. Wanwan, do you think my punishment is too light?"
Tang Wan shook her head: "You must have your reasons for doing this. I believe you."
Xuanyuan Che's heart softened, he held her in his arms and kissed her forehead: "My Wanwan is very considerate and the best woman in the world. But don't worry too much, I will make her pay the price soon."
"Yeah, okay." Tang Wan looked at him, her beautiful eyes full of dependence.
"only……"
"Just what?" Xuanyuan Che saw her hesitation and his heart softened. "If there's anything that needs to change, just tell me. I'll make the decision for you."
Tang Wan snuggled in his arms and said softly, "But how should I explain this to the Empress Dowager?"
Xuanyuan Che kissed her forehead and said, "I'm here to take care of Queen Mother. You don't have to worry. I've already sent someone to inform her."
When Tang Wan heard this, she immediately became anxious: "How can I do this? My clothes are in disarray, how can I meet the Empress Dowager?"
Xuanyuan Che rubbed her face and said, "We are all family, there is nothing to be afraid of. If the Queen Mother knew about this, she would be so happy."
Tang Wan turned away angrily: "You didn't even tell me in advance, huh."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I should have listened to you. Wanwan, don't be angry." Xuanyuan Che spoke softly, coaxing her like a child.
Tang Wan couldn't get angry anymore, so she could only ask the maid to clean herself up first.
Just as she finished cleaning up, the Queen Mother arrived. Tang Wan was about to stand up and salute, but the Queen Mother quickly stopped her and said, "Good child, just lie down and be quiet."
The Queen Mother's face was filled with joy. When she saw her, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, looking completely satisfied.
She sat down beside Tang Wan's bed and held her hands. "You are a very lucky child. It is a blessing for the emperor to marry you. You are pregnant with a child for the emperor. You are a great contributor to our Xuanyuan family, child."
As she spoke, she pulled off a jade bracelet with excellent water content from her hand and said, "Here, I see you're not short of good things either. This was given to me by my mother, the Grand Empress Dowager. Now I'm giving it to you."
"This, can't be done..." Tang Wan hesitated and pushed it away with her hands.
"Why not? You are pregnant with Che'er's child, so this bracelet should be yours. Are you... still angry with me?" The queen mother showed self-blame.
Tang Wan repeatedly said no, but the Empress Dowager wouldn't let her refuse: "Since you don't have any, then keep it well. Once you're pregnant, you can announce this good news at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve. What do you think, Emperor?"
"Mother's suggestion is very good, is Wanwan willing?"
The empress dowager looked at the two of them in surprise. The emperor, this arrogant boy, actually asked a question. It seemed that he really liked this girl to the extreme. Well, she was pregnant with the dragon heir, and she was so beautiful, sensible and obedient. It was normal for the emperor to like her.
"I am willing."
The Queen Mother now looked at her as if she were her own daughter and patted her hand gently: "Wanwan, you are so thin, you must eat more food." Otherwise, what if the baby in your belly goes hungry?
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
"Why call her Empress Dowager? Just do as the Emperor does and call her Mother."
Tang Wan looked at Xuanyuan Che for help. Xuanyuan Che nodded at her, and Tang Wan obediently called him "Mother". The Queen Mother looked at her and thought she was extremely well-behaved. Looking at her, she felt satisfied in every way.
"Hey, hey! Wanwan, you should have a good rest. Your mother will send someone to bring you a reward later. I will go and pray for you and your unborn child first."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she left in a hurry. Xuanyuan Che smiled and teased her: "What, are you scared?"
Tang Wan lowered her eyes: "No..."
"What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?" Xuanyuan Che warmed her hands and looked at her worriedly.
"No...it's just..."
"That's what? Wanwan can speak freely in front of me."
Tang Wan looked up at him, her eyes misty with tears: "A Che, what if I'm pregnant with a girl?"
"So what if she's a daughter? Even if she's a daughter, she's still the most honorable princess of Zhao State. Is there anyone who dares to look down on her?"
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was, what if I only have one child and it's a girl?"
Xuanyuan Che fell into deep thought. Just when Tang Wan thought he was going to get angry, he said, "I understand what you mean, Wan Wan. You mean, what if I only have one daughter in this life, right?"
